In an effort to keep the scope manageable for the pilot year, the Direct File team chose to have an upper income limit so they would not have to support Form 8959: Additional Medicare Tax (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i8959.pdf) which only kicks in at that threshold.

Though it's also very likely at these high incomes that you would be disqualified for other reasons (investment income etc)

8960 (net investment tax) is another form that only applies at 200k or more income.
